AHCC is a time-tested "superfood" nutrient extracted from the mycelium of shiitake mushrooms grown in rice bran extract. Less well known in the West, AHCC has become a widely accepted treatment for several diseases and health conditions. Japanese doctors have successfully used AHCC to treat cancer, autoimmune diseases, and many other debilitating illnesses. Learn about the scientific research that confirms the value of AHCC.

AHCC (active hexose correlated compound) is a unique immune-building supplement made from components of shiitake and other medicinal mushrooms. But AHCC is much more than just a mushroom! Written by two AHCC experts, this booklet discusses extensive research--more than 20 human clinical studies--supporting AHCC's beneficial properties, particularly as a complement to conventional cancer treatments.

The lowly mushroom, grown quietly, in the dark, has suddenly sprung onto the health scene as a miracle cure. Once castigated as a mere fungus, the mushroom has acquired a signature cachet in the form of active hexose-correlated compound (AHCC), a nutritional product made from healing mushrooms fermented in rice bran. AHCC is used in over 700 clinics and hospitals in Japan, mainly in cancer treatment. Now AHCC: The Medical Breakthrough in Natural Immunotherapy reveals what the Japanese have known for decades: AHCC is as well-researched as any conventional prescription drug. The quality control of AHCC is so stringent that it would easily qualify as a licensed pharmaceutical, but the manufacturers believe that this would limit its availability to the many people in Japan—healthy people, who use it as a preventive as well as for a variety of other purposes. Because it is actually a mushroom-based food, even though it is often made available in capsule form, it is extremely safe for anyone to take, including children, pets, frail elderly people, and patients who have undergone surgery. AHCC: The Medical Breakthrough in Natural Immunotherapy explores AHCC in depth, explaining: How it is manufactured How it is used in clinics in Japan and other parts of the world Its safety and efficacy The scientific evidence supporting its striking versatility and profound effectiveness for a wide variety of conditions AHCC: The Medical Breakthrough in Natural Immunotherapy will introduce you to AHCC and expand your knowledge of one of the most important food supplements available on the market today.

More than ever, people are interested in concrete steps they can take to protect themselves from colds, flu, and other infections. Growing concerns over global pandemics, combined with a higher incidence of deadly antibiotic-resistant Staph infections, are fueling increased interest in nutritional interventions and natural methods of boosting immunity. One exceptional compound in this respect is AHCC (Active Hexose Correlated Compound), a bionutraceutical developed in Japan that has been extensively studied for its ability to stimulate immune response and protect against viral, bacterial and fungal infections.
